My Take
Pat Shurmur strikes me as the consummate football lifer, the kind of strategist whose value lives in the film room rather than the highlight reel. A Michigan native and Michigan State product, he's spent decades on the offensive side, coordinating units like the Broncos and tutoring quarterbacks at Colorado. I'm drawn to coaches like him who develop players patiently and build winning systems without demanding the spotlight. His steady, journeyman path through the NFL ranks suggests a man who genuinely loves the chess match of the sport. There's something deeply respectable about that kind of unglamorous, craft-first dedication to the game.
